HOW DO I JOIN A SMALL GROUP?

The best way to join a small group is to get in contact with our Small Groups Pastor, Ray Moore: email, (910) 523-1185.  For more about groups or group leaders, start at our groups page.


WHAT IF I CAN’T AFFORD SMALL GROUP MATERIALS?

We will never turn anyone away because they cannot afford small group materials.  We want our groups to be accessible to everyone.  This applies to all of our small groups, including Starting Point and Celebrate Recovery. Please see our “whatever you can afford” policy on our growth groups page.  For more information, please contact our Small Groups Pastor, Ray Moore: email, (910) 523-1185.


DOES GENERATIONS PROVIDE SMALL GROUP CHILDCARE?

Generations does not provide childcare outside of Sunday morning.  We will, however, reimburse you for childcare and baby-sitting fees associated with attending a small group. Please fill out a childcare reimbursement form if you would like to be reimbursed.  For more information, see our groups page.


HOW DO I BECOME A MEMBER OF GENERATIONS CHURCH?

It’s important to make a distinction between belonging to a local church and belonging to God as part of His church (all those who trust in Christ).  The Bible makes it clear that when we personally put our trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior (God’s Son who died to pay for our sin and who rose again from the dead), we become children of God.  In this way, every child of God is a member of the church.  When we think about membership at Generations, we prefer to use the phrases like “partners in mission” or even “missionaries to Brunswick County”.  If you are currently a part of any group at Generations and Christ is your Savior, we consider you to be a partner with us in our mission to reach Brunswick County.
